I lived at Park Farm in Church from 1950.
All we had at that time was calor gas and lamp-oil.
My stepfather had to pay to have a trench dug across the field from Church Kirk bridge to the farm for the electric cables........this was in 1953.
Then we had television and a fridge for the first time.
We could milk the cows by machine instead of by hand.
Happy days?
